My first irresponsible purchase...

I tell ya, you stalkers had sooo many good ideas of what to do with my bonus money.  I LOVE that you played along!  The biggest response was for clothes, shoes & jewelry.  I'm pretty much set in the jewelry department, & I'm not really a 'clothes & shoe' gal.  (Sorry Denise!)  HOWEVER.... I am going to look at the UGG boots AND some shoes called Dansko's.  Apparently they're handmade & they conform to your feet & are uber comfortable.  I'll have to check that out...

I have kicked around so many things I might like to get.  B-rad mentioned a front loader washer & dryer because the washer & dryer I have now is the old school style & we've had it since we got married.  I really do want some new ones, but don't know if I wanna blow my money on something I have to do household chores with.  Bleh.

Like I said before, B-rad had NO problem coming up with several things to put on the list!  He said I should get a new computer because my laptop is a few years old & the top is broken but I said I don't need one!  I watched some videos on the Mac computers over the long weekend.  And...oh.my.word.  They are awesome... but pricey! (Ginmommy your dad would be so proud, right?!  If I got one, would he adopt me & let me sit in on the infamous family photo 'round the table?  I would LOVE that!)  I don't know if I wanna blow THAT much on one of those just yet...

I knew what I wanted my first purchase to be.  Something I love.  Something I'm too cheap to buy.  Something that I got for Christmas that gave me the extra itch.

Without further delay...

Please, PLEASE be jealous... 

Yes, I know I just got a real, live Coach bag for Christmas, but I can't carry that everyday.  It's an over the shoulder bag so I can take that when I go on trips & stuff.   I got something I can carry everyday AND my iPad fits in it.  (That's my new requirement for purses-my iPad has to fit!)

I went to the Coach outlet in Edinburgh.  Alicia had told me they give you a 30% off coupon when you walk in the door & I like coupons.   While I was shopping around, I kept saying, "Do I really wanna spend $xxx.xx on this purse?!"  (Old habits die hard....)  Then I found the matching wallet & had to carry it around forever to decide if I wanted to pay for it!  Sheesh!

So there you have it - shocker, huh?  Jaime Mac bought a purse.  I know, I know booooooring.  I promise I will try to do better next time!
